Atletico Madrid have made two changes from last weekend's La Liga action for tonight's Champions League showdown with Benfica.

Jesus Gamez is replaced at right-back by the returning Juanfran, while midfielder Angel Correa has been selected ahead of Saul Niguez.

Benfica have made just one change for the trip to Spain, with former Fulham striker Kostas Mitroglu making way for Raul Jimenez.
